So, I made the mistake of signing this song to Bridget the other day – and now she wants me to sing it to her all the time. She’s been walking around the house saying things like “funny, funny frog” or “yucky, yucky poo.”

I guess it could be worse. But honestly, oops.

I’m sure you’ve all heard the song A, You’re adorable.

A, You’re adorable
B, You’re so beautiful
C, You’re a cutie full of charms
D, You’re darling and
E, You’re exciting

…etc…

But, that’s not the song I was singing. A friend of mine in High School taught me different words to the same tune. Apparently her family learned it this way while living in Germany. The song is pretty funny (but not terribly nice), so be advised that it might get stuck in your head. Just be careful not to go singing it around your toddlers. Alas. Anyway, here are the lyrics:

A, You’re an antelope
B, You’re a buffalo
C, You’re a cantaloupe with arms
D, You’re a dinosaur
E, You’re an Elephant
F, You’re a funny, funny frog
G, You’re a goody-goody
H, You are some homely
I, You’re an icky, icky poo
J, You’re a jelly bean
K, You’re a kidney bean
L, You’re a Lima bean too.

M,N,O,P I can go on and on. . .
Q,R,S,T alphabetically speaking, you disgust me

U, You wear no underwear
V, You’re a vitamin

W,X,Y,Z

I’d like to wander through,
the alphabet with you,
and tell you how you nauseate me.

(I actually found similar lyrics on a girl scout songbook website – here)

Ha ha. Confessions of a crazy mother, I guess. Can you see why I probably shouldn’t have gotten my daughter hooked on that song at such a young age? Hopefully she doesn’t go around telling people they are a “cantaloupe with arms” or saying “You wear no underwear.” I can deal with “funny, funny frog” and even “yucky, yucky poo” (as she says it).

Well, I still think its funny.
